The family member is willing to give me the property but I’m not sure on the best way to handle this situation/transaction such as possibly doing a quitclaim deed or go thru a title company.

Talk to your realtor or brokerage to help you verbiage well and get permission from the current owner while you get the transaction done.. 

I’m looking to get a wholesale deal under contract & Flip the contract on an assignment transaction.  

I figured that transactions down there don't move as fast as they do on the mainland.

I look forward to seeing more of your future transactions and structures!

So you can think of the service they provide as some kind of aggregator who earns a fee based on transactions alone which aligns the platforms interests with volume, possibly at the expense of outcomes.

I've called a legal hotline and I'm waiting to hear back but if anyone can provide some sort of clarity because it seems as if they are cutting agents out of the transaction as a whole since majority of landlords do NOT offer compensation. 

Consider also contacting the California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Department to see if there are any special requirements. 

If I get a notice from the cities code enforcement department then they have not kept up with the lease agreement. 

Different markets may have different periods though.Buying from a wholesaler - there is usually NOT an escape clause with these transactions.
